Anna Ternheim - Leaving on a mayday
One listen to Leaving on a mayday, Anna Ternheim's third album, silences the harbingers of doom, with their talk of the "difficult third album". With producer Björn Yttling, she has recorded a set of songs with a self-evidence and rough authority which few artists are able to reach. Instead of taking the safe road, Anna and Björn approach the music without compromise: the songs are crystal clear, direct in their approach and refuse to hide behind any big arrangements or sonic tricks. The instrumentation is sparse, and the focus on Anna is total.
